After distilling your crude methyl benzoate, you set aside 4.83 grams of the purified ester. You then prepare the grignard reage

nt ( phenylmagnesium bromide ) by reacting 2.3 grams of magnesium with 9.45 ml of bromobenzene. You add the 4.83 grams of methyl benzoate to the freshly prepared grignard reagent to form an addition product. Finally, after hydrolyzing the grignard addition product, you obtain 5 grams of the final product, triphenyl carbinol. What is the percent yield of triphenyl carbinol?

Answer:

95.6 %

Explanation:

For this question, we will have <u>2 reactions</u>, the formation of the <u>grignard reagent</u> and the <u>formation of the alcohol</u>. The first step then is the calculation of the <u>maximum amount</u> of the grignard reagent. For this, we have to convert the grams to moles and check the smallest value. To do this we have to take into account the <u>following conversion ratios</u>:

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mol

Molar mass of phenylmagnesium bromide (C_6H_5Br)= 157 g/mol

Density of bromobenzene= 1.5 g/mL

Molar ratio between Mg and  C_6H_5Br= 1:1

2.3~g~Mg\frac{1~mol~Mg}{24~g~Mg}=0.096~mol~Mg

9.45~mL~\frac{1g}{1.5mL}\frac{1~mol~C_6H_5Br}{157~g}=0.0402~mol~C_6H_5Br

The smallest value is the mol of bromobenzene therefore <u>0.0402 mol</u> of phenylmagnesium bromide would be produced.

The next step is repite the same steps for the reaction of <u>formation of the alcohol</u>. Therefore we have to find the moles of methyl benzoate, so:

Molar mass of methyl benzoate: 136.14 g/mol

4.83~g~\frac{1~mol}{136.14~g}=0.35~mol

The we have to <u>divide by the coefficient</u> of each reactive in the balance reaction. So:

\frac{0.35~mol}{1}=0.35

\frac{0.0402~mol}{2}=0.0201

Therefore the <u>limiting reagent</u> would be the phenylmagnesium bromide. Now, the <u>molar ratio</u> between the phenylmagnesium bromide and triphenyl carbinol is <u>2:1</u>, so the amount of alcohol produced is 0.0201 mol triphenyl carbinol. The next step is the conversion from mol to <u>grams of triphenyl carbinol</u>:

Molar mass of triphenyl carbinol= 260.33 g/mol

0.0201~mol\frac{260.33~g}{1~mol}=5.23~g~triphenyl carbinol

Finally, we have to <u>divide</u> the obtanied solid by the calculated one:

Percentage=\frac{5}{5.23}*100=95.6\%

Which carboxylic acid is used to prepare the ester shown?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The general equation for the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alkanol to form an ester is shown below;

RCOOH + ROH ------> RCOOR + H2O

Hence; the reactant carboxylic acid can only be the compound (CH3)2-CH-CH2-COOH in accordance with the general reaction equation shown above.

Hence the reaction is;

(CH3)2-CH-CH2-COOH + CH3-CH2OH -------> CH3CH2 OCO-CH2-CH-(CH3)2
